Answer:
20 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.
Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:

Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

The answer would be -18 and 3
Answer:
an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)
a6 = 512
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for a geometric sequence is
an = a1 (r)^(n-1)
where an is the term of the sequence
a1 is the initial term of the sequence
r is the ratio
and n is the term number
We know a1 = 1/2 and r =4
I will assume that x=6 means we want to know the 6th term
an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)
We want to find the 6th term
a6 = 1/2 * 4^(6-1)
a6 = 1/2 * 4^5
a6 = 512
